Overview 1-1

Overview

This document describes the post-installation configuration of Wireless Edition.

Each section of this document presents a different topic. These sections include:

■ Section 1.1, "Installation Overview"

■ Section 1.2, "Manual Configuration"

■ Section 1.3, "Upgrade"

■ Section 1.4, "Samples"

■ Section 1.5, "Web Integration Server"

■ Section 1.6, "Wireless Edition Client"

■ Section 1.7, "OCI8 JDBC Driver"

■ Section 1.8, "User Provisioning"

■ Section 1.9, "Geocoding Setup"

■ Section 1.10, "JDBC Connection Pooling"

Installation Overview

1-2 Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition Configuration Guide

1.1 Installation Overview

The Oracle9i Application Server installation includes three options:

■ Oracle HTTP Server

■ Standard Edition

■ Enterprise Edition

Wireless Edition is installed as part of each of these options. The Oracle9i Application

Server Installation Guide discusses each option, and discusses the installation steps

specific to Wireless Edition. The Installation Guide defines Wireless Edition and

Oracle HTTP Server hardware and software requirements, preinstallation tasks

(setting environment variables), port numbers, starting and stopping the Oracle

HTTP Server, and the Wireless Edition client configuration.

For a new installation of Wireless Edition, follow the steps in this document starting

with the manual configuration in Section 1.2. If you have a previous release of

Wireless Edition installed see Section 1.3.

Important: In this document:

■ WE_HOME is the directory in which Wireless Edition is

installed followed by the "panama" sub-directory. For example:

c:\ias10210\panama (Windows)

/private/ias10210/panama (UNIX)

Replace "WE_HOME" with the fully-qualified directory path.

■ ORACLE_HOME is the directory in which Oracle9i

Application Server is installed.

Important: Wireless Edition is not properly configured until the

manual configuration steps are completed in Section 1.2.

Manual Configuration

Overview 1-3

1.2 Manual Configuration

After installation, perform the manual configuration steps described in this section:

■ Section 1.2.1, "Configure Oracle HTTP Server and JServ"

■ Section 1.2.2, "Configure ProxyFirewall.properties"

■ Section 1.2.3, "Start the Oracle HTTP Server"

■ Section 1.2.4, "Wireless Edition Configuration Verification"

1.2.1 Configure Oracle HTTP Server and JServ

This section describes the configuration of the Oracle HTTP Server and JServ.

1. Configure the httpd.conf file. The httpd.conf file is in the ORACLE_

HOME/Apache/Apache/conf directory.

a. Create an alias for this release of the Personalization Portal. This is needed

so that the application server can find the

http://hostname/portal/Login.jsp URL. Include the following in the Alias

section:

Alias /portal/ "WE_HOME/server/portal/"

b. To access a previous release of the Personalization Portal, in addition to this

release, create an alias. This allows the application server to find the

http://hostname/papz/login.jsp URL. Include the following in the Alias

section:

Alias /papz/ "WE_HOME/server/papz/"

c. Create an alias for the Javadoc directory. Include the following in the Alias

section. This step is optional.

Alias /ptgdoc/ "WE_HOME/doc/javadoc/"

2. Configure the jserv.conf file. The jserv.conf file is in the ORACLE_

HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc directory. In the ApJServMount section, add the

Wireless Edition specific mount point:

ApJServMount /ptg /root

3. Configure the jserv.properties file. The jserv.properties file is in the ORACLE_

HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc directory.

Manual Configuration

1-4 Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition Configuration Guide

Verify that the Java Virtual Machine is version 1.2.2. For example:

wrapper.bin= <ORACLE_HOME>/Apache/jdk/bin/java.exe

b. After the other "wrapper.classpath" entries, add all the required Wireless

Edition files after the "tools.jar" entry in the classpath.

For Windows (for UNIX replace "\" with "/"):

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\server\classes

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\panama.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\panama_core.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\panama_portal.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\panama_papz.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\client.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\server.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\caboshare-opt.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\marlin-opt.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\ocelot-opt.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\share-opt-1_1_7.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\tecate-opt.zip

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\regexp.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\sax2.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\activation.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\mail.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\ldap.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\ldapbp.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\providerutil.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\sdoapi101.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\sdovis.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\MapQuestX.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\MQJavaCore.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\RoutingJServerClient.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\jai_codec.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\jai_core.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\jpeg_codec.jar

wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\lib\ordimimg.jar

Note: Perform the following step before the Oracle HTTP Server is

started. The Personalization Portal requires this step for generating

the correct image.
